Eliza Doolittle's denim cutoffs were adorned with tassels (!) and while her white tank top didn't leave much to the imagination, a large white boa did provide a bit of coverage. A styling trick to adopt? No, better not.

Dionne Bromfield's outfit is certainly daring but, I have to say, I kind of like it. I love her bright lipstick and belt, cool vintage tee and black and white striped shorts - crazy short as they may be.

And then there was the girl group The Saturdays, who debuted all varieties of daring, leg-baring shorts on stage. Definitely not appropriate for a Monday, I agree.
